          Fact-checking the bullshit, Lockr is not able to distinguish "Hide My Email" alias from iCloud email accounts adexchanger.com/data-exchanges/big-hopes-big-backers-and-a-big-mountain-to-climb-for-email-data-startup-lockr/ 👀 4/

              You want privacy, but you are schizophrenic? Give the keys of your email to an adtech company adexchanger.com/the-sell-sider/why-machine-generated-emails-are-ad-techs-next-nightmare/ 🤦 "The answer is obvious: give consumers control over communication." 😜 6/

                Happy that hidden in its white paper, Lockr writes about email alias privacy benefits (vs its own consumer service): (1) removing identifiers (3) preventing targeted advertising loc.kr/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/lockr-MGE-White-Paper.pdf 👀 7/

                  Email alias services like Firefox Relay? A "threat to the open web" 💩 And guess who is funding Lockr? Mozilla Ventures loc.kr/lockr-raises-2-5-million-to-help-consumers-take-control-of-their-digital-identity/🤦 8/

                      I wonder what Mozilla Ventures Managing Partner Mohamed Nanabhay (@mohamed) think about Mozilla privacy ethos (blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-privacy-philosophy/) vs Lockr mission 🤔 10/
